Human Factor

The Human Factor is a scalar measurement of selfless, benevolent or good-natured behaviour of sentient beings, pertaining most strongly to Humans, hence the eponymous name. It was created by the Enlightener due to his interest in the idiosyncratic elements of Matt Rye, whom he found to be a particularly intriguing being.

The Human Factor is not specific to Humans, as the Enlightener claims that nearly all sapient beings possess a level of morality, even Eridians. The Enlightener is the only person not affected by the Human Factor, although he possibly does have a determinate value, and as such he considers himself "pure" for it, more so than his fellow members of the Seventh Conglomerate.

Scale
The Human Factor is measured in positive integers, with no limit to how high it can be, although it goes beyond the point of being undefined. 0-50: Numbers dipping below this point are not considered affected by the Human Factor. Only Kallux and the Enlightener score lower than 50.

50-100: Average according to human standards. Most people lie in this zone, and are considered normal, having parts selfish and parts selfless or benevolent.

100-150: Moralised above normal standards. Lilith, Rhys and Axton are among the many who score within this range. Those lying between this and 200 are rare, but are also considered "moralised".

200+ : Scores above 200 highlight someone who near-on selfless and almost wholly good-natured. Those scoring this high are not perfect, and will have negative sides to their personality, however a Human Factor greater than 200 indicates that they are either a good person in majority or have an extremely kind side to them. Gaige and Matt are the only ones known to score within this range, with Gaige at 290 and the Anomaly at an astounding 320.
